A Thank You To My Best Friends Of A Decade

I would be nowhere without my boys

A Thank You To My Best Friends Of A Decade
Ariana MacAskill

Having long time best friends has been one of the greatest things in the world. I would be no where in life without my two best friends of almost 10 years. I still remember my first day of 6th grade and how nervous and scared I was. I had just moved to California, all the way from England, and I didn't know anyone and on that first day I was welcomed by these two boys and my life hasn't been the same.

So I just wanted to say thank you.

Thank you for the endless nights of Mario Kart and junk food.

Thank you for going to the mall with me and enduring Forever 21 and Victoria Secret.

Thank you for the 1am trips to the grocery store because I was hungry.

Thank you for realizing once in a while that I actually was a girl and not "one of the guys".

Thank you for teaching me how to be tough and how to hit a baseball.

Thank you for not laughing at me for screaming when a football came flying towards me.

Thank you for reminding me what its like to be a kid again.

Thank you for always being there to pick me up when I fall down.

Thank you for being my home away from home.

Thank you for the late night Skype calls while we were all in different colleges.

Thank you for putting up with my emotional days.

Thank you for all the pep talks and motivation.

Thank you for being my protectors in life, for wiping my tears, and for holding my hand when I'm scared.

But most importantly, thank you for loving me no matter what. Through all the hard times in my life you two have been by my side for every single event. From broken bones to broken hearts, you two were always there to support me and love me unconditionally.

Even though we go to separate schools and we don't have the best communication skills, we will never lose our bond.

Thank you for being my everything and for letting me be a "bro"


Here's to 10 years and 10 more.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
